“Apple on Tuesday announced its new MacBook, which slots in as the middle step between the entry-level Apple MacBook Air and the high-end Apple MacBook Pro,” Joel Santo Domingo writes for PC Magazine. “Highlights include a 13.1mm thick chassis, 2-pound weight, and all-day battery life thanks to a Intel Core M processor and batteries that fill the slender case.”
“Open the lid, and you’ll see a much smaller bezel than the one on the 11-inch MacBook Air, as well as edge-to-edge glass covering a screen that is just as bright and clear as the ones on the Retina MacBook Pro,” Santo Domingo writes. “The new keyboard has full-size keys, but is a lot thinner than even the keyboard on the MacBook Air 11-inch. Key travel takes a few minutes to get used to, but feels a lot better and more responsive than the membrane keyboards on the Dell XPS 11 and Microsoft Surface Touch Cover.”
“Since the system weighs only 2 pounds (lighter than the 2.38-pound MacBook Air 11-inch), which is just a hair heavier than the original Apple iPad,” Santo Domingo writes. “I can see carrying this system everywhere, so you can have the full OS X compatibility with a system that weighs about as much as a tablet with a docking keyboard.”
